Hey everyone, Hannah here, with a new update for this pattern! This blanket was one of the first crochet blankets I’ve ever made and the first pattern I ever wrote, so my beginner tension was a lot looser and varied than it is now. I thought it would be a good idea to remake this blanket and hopefully give everyone a better idea of how to make it the size that you want!
